It sure looks like there was collusion between the Trump operation and Russia
Look at the whole story and tell me this isn't su ious.
Two things are true about the indictmentsunsealed by special counsel Bob Mueller Monday:
- They don’t provide a “smoking gun” proving collusion between Donald Trump’s operation and Russia.
- They make it almost impossible to believe that there wasn’t collusion between Trump’s operation and Russia.
The Trump campaign was filled with operatives connected in shady ways to the Russian government.
It included individuals who knew that the Russians had obtained Clinton-related emailsand who lied about that knowledge to federal investigators.
Top campaign officials (and Trump family members) dropped everything to meet with Russian operatives when they believed there was useful opposition research on offer.
Trump publicly asked Russia to hack into Clinton’s computers to find and release her missing emails.
We also know the Russians really did hack into John Podesta’s and the DNC’s email accounts and found and released emails that damaged Clinton.
They really did conduct social media operations designed help Trump.
Both their targets and their timing were extremely sophisticated for a foreign government that has traditionally shown itself to have a poor understanding of American politics.
After winning the White House, Trump attacked the CIA and fired the director of the FBI in an effort to discredit or end their investigations into Russia’s role in the election.
At this point, it would be a truly remarkable coincidence if two en ies that had so many ties to each other,
that had so much information about what the other was doing, and
that were working so hard toward the same goal never found a way to coordinate.
1) Russia stole Democratic emails. US intelligence agencies have confirmed that emails from the Democratic National Committee and from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta were stolen by Russian hackers. The emails were ultimately released in a smartly sequenced way to maximize damage to Hillary Clinton.
2) At least one Trump adviser knew of the theft in advance, and lied about it. Shortly after the emails were hacked, George Papadopoulos, one of Trump’s five listed foreign policy advisers, was told of their existence by a Russian professor whom he knew to have deep contacts in the Russian government. Papadopoulos subsequently lied to investigators about the timing of the revelation.
3) Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, was a paid operative of a Russia-linked political party in Ukraine.
4) In June 2016, Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with a Russian operative who promised them dirt on Clinton. The email Trump Jr. received was crystal clear.
5) In July 2016, Trump publicly asked the Russian government to find and release other emails Clinton deleted.
6) Russians released emails to help Trump, planted fake news and social media bots to help Trump, and tried to hack election systems in 21 states. What’s most striking about the Russian operations on Trump’s behalf is how sophisticated they were about American politics.
7) After being elected president, Donald Trump fired the director of the FBI to end his investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election. President Trump has certainly acted like someone with much to fear from the various investigations into Russia’s role in the election.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s habit of forgetting meetings with Russian officials,
notably pro-Russian policy positions Trump adopted during the campaign
it would truly be remarkable if all this happened and yet the two sides never explicitly worked together.

Flynn, Page, Kushner, & oh let’s throw TSA a bone and say Podesta.
Wait, does this have to do with Russian collusion?
Yes or no.
Prob Clinton, Podesta, Obama, and Soros.
LOL TSA grasping.
Papadoupoulos plea deal is a gem.
The Trump campaign was deep in Russian ties. They're all ed.
Geez. The Mensch loons were right.
Yep, Manafort and this guy Gates will sing.
In a few weeks Pence will pay Manafort a visit and give him the “Tom Hagen/Frank Pentangeli” talk from Godfather Part 2.
very little. Trump will throw anybody under the bus the instant they say anything bad. He is his own worst enemy.
Do the charges against Manafort give leverage to prosecutors for charges that deal with colluding with Russian during the election, yes or no?

What a meltdown. Shows the quality of Trump's defenders, tbh.
He's trolling![]()
Kushner?
Interesting bit, but not clear if they are related to Mueller's probe. (seems quite possible, but hard to say)
